原版英语对话1000个:011 New House（在线收听）

Todd: So, Keri, I hear you have a new house.

Keri: Yes, I do. Oh, so what's your new house like? It's small, it's old. It's mostly wooden in the inside. It has two rooms and a balcony off of those rooms and downstairs there's like a living room area and a tatami* mat room, kitchen, bathroom.

Todd: Wow, so do you live in the tatami mat room?

Keri: No, there's two tatami mat rooms. There's one upstairs and there's one downstairs and I don't live in either. One we use as kind of a spare room and the other one is my roommates bedroom.

Todd: Oh, OK. So you have a roommate?

Keri: Yes.

Todd: What's it like having a roommate?

Keri: It's good. It's good. I like living alone too but sometimes it's nice to come home and have someone there and my roommate gets home before I do and she likes to cook so often she's cooked dinner for me.

Todd: Wow, that's nice.

Keri: I know.

Todd: Well, you do all the cleaning?

Keri: Well, now that you mention it, I do a lot of the cleaning, but no, not all of it. Oh, OK.

Todd: Well, what kind of things does she make you?

Keri: Last night she made curry. I think it was an Indian curry, tomato based.

Todd: Spicy?

Keri: Yes.

Todd: Cool. Alright, thanks a lot Keri.

Keri: You're welcome.
